Once one slew someone possessed of merit's clear light, one's own merit would be greatly diminished, while one's karmic sin would increase. When crossing great tribulations in the future, death would be all but certain.
After all, beings capable of condensing merit's clear light were simply far too rare.
Within the Immortal Realm, many Earthly Immortal patriarchs performed good deeds for tens of millions of years, yet might not cultivate even a few strands of merit's clear light.
Chen Nianzhi had helped the Purple Yin Realm successfully advance and condensed three strands of merit's clear light. Countless Earthly Immortal patriarchs would likely be green with envy.
However, the Purple Yin Realm's advancement had consumed a supreme immortal treasure, Stellar Origin. Ordinary Earthly Immortal patriarchs likely would not be willing to pay such a price.
Returning to the matter at hand, after obtaining merit's clear light, Chen Nianzhi sat cross-legged in the void and began his seclusion.
With this world's advancement, he had received merit upon his person, along with feedback from the Purple Yin Realm's will of heaven and earth. A fortuitous opportunity had silently descended upon him.
At this moment, Chen Nianzhi had entered a state of enlightenment. Realizing that his opportunity for breakthrough had arrived, he immediately took out an enormous heart and a bottle of golden true blood.
The heart naturally belonged to the ten-million-mile ancient beast, while the golden true blood was the ancient beast's natal true blood.
Whether the heart or the true blood, both contained the essence of the Chaos Ancient Beast's entire body. Even immortals at the ninth layer of the Ascension Realm would be overjoyed to obtain them.
Having received the heaven and earth's nourishment, Chen Nianzhi knew this was the best time to refine the ancient beast's heart and true blood,
